Alright, folks, let’s dive into something that might seem super basic, but trust me, I’ve seen even seasoned baseball fans get tripped up by this: figuring out which side is the home team’s in a baseball game.
So, the other day, I was watching a game with a buddy of mine, and he’s like, “Wait, which dugout is which again?” And it hit me – not everyone knows this stuff off the top of their head! So I figured, why not share my little journey of figuring this out?
My First Clueless Moments
I remember when I first started getting into baseball. I’d go to games, and I’d be totally lost. Like, which side is our team on? It was confusing!
The Simple Trick
It turns out there is the standard but not a must rule.
- First Base Side:If you imagined the batter, usually the home team take the first base side dugout.
- Third Base Side: This is generally where the visiting team hangs out.
Putting It to the Test
Once I learned this, I started paying attention at every game I went to. I’d check the scoreboard, look at the field, and sure enough, home team on the first base side, visitors on the third. It felt like I’d cracked some secret code!
So there you have it. It’s a small thing, maybe, but knowing which side is the home team’s can make watching a baseball game a little bit easier. And hey, we all start somewhere, right? No shame in learning the basics!
